I have a message that has 7 attachments, but eM Client only shows 3 of them… I need to resize window to see more, but even though not all are visible. How to fix that?

On the far right of the attachments is a “scrollbar” where you can see any other attachments not showing scrolling down as in the below eM Client V10 Mac example.
Thanks. That would be cool actually to see the scrollbar, but it is hidden by default. Please check below screenshot, this email has 7 attachments, but I see only 3 and no scrollbar, nor any indication that there are more attachments. I actually replied to this email asking where are attachments and the recipient responded to me that they are for sure attached, and actually they are there, but not visible here.

Ok try then a different Theme to see if the scrollbar then appears via “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / Appearance / Themes”. As could possibly be not showing in your current Theme.
If no Themes make any difference, then change your Theme back again, and try changing the message view layout via going to “Menu / View / Layout” and switch between messages preview on the right or messages preview underneath depending on what view you are already using.
I just got bitten by a similar issue. The scrollbar only appears when hovering the cursor in the window, and it is really easy to overlook.
It is easy to miss the additional attachments this way, and it seems to me like a poor default UX choice.
Is there an option to either force-show all attachments or at least show the total number of attachments somewhere?

If the scrollbars are not automatically showing, then see @skybat post in the following Thread.
Note:- I use Textmate on Mac or Notepad on Windows to manually edit any Themes.
If the Attachments scrollbar is still hard to see using any Theme, then try using the “wider scrollbars” in Settings so it stands out more.
If you have V10 go to “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / Appearance / Lists” and select “Use wide scrollbars” and then click “Apply” and Save and Close Settings.
If you have eM Client V8 or V9, you can adjust the scrollbar width via “Menu / Tools / Theme Editor”.
First go to “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / Appearance / Themes” and at the bottom click “Advanced / Save Current Theme As", and save your theme in your eg: “Documents / eM Client” folder.
Then open the “Theme Editor” in eM Client via the Menu and “Open your saved current Theme”. Next click “Scrollbar” on the left, and check the box “UseSystemScrollbar” & check the box as per the screenshot below. Then “save the theme” in your eg: “Documents / eM Client” folder.
Then in eM Client go to “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / Appearance / Themes”, and at the bottom click “Import Theme” and select your saved theme from your “Documents / eM Client” folder.
You will then see your custom theme appear “at the bottom of the builtin Themes”. Finally “click on your custom theme” and click “Apply” & Save & Close to exit Settings.
Lastly there is also alot of really good “User created Themes” you might like to try which also show the scrollbars really well.

Thanks for this reply, however this does not work. I tried both Use wide scrollbars, and also exporting, changing line
<UseSystemScrollbar description="Use system scrollbars with no automatic hiding">True</UseSystemScrollbar>
and then imported the Theme, this did not fix the problem. Even though no automatic hiding is set to True, the scrollbars are not visible when number of attachments is large (i.e. I have 6 attachments, but it shows 3 when window width is smaller).
Please see video with that bug:
It would be enough though to add some element that signifies that there are more attachments (e.g. three dots or something).
Thanks.
